"....................Kok-Borok, a dialect of Tibeto-Burman group, mother tongue of more than 1.3 million Borok(Tripuri) population inhabiting in Tripura, Mizoram and Assam States of India, and in Chittagong Hill Tracts and other five Districts of Bangladesh. Kok-Borok speaking rulers ruled the State of Tripura for more than thirteen hundred years. Though Kok-Borok is one of the rich languages in Eastern India by its treasure of folklore, folktale, vocabulary and cultural heritage. But, it could not be flourished to that extent due to the neglect of erstwhile rulers of the State and absence of any policy of the Union Government to preserve and develop such hundreds of dialects of distinct minority linguistic groups in the country.
